I called yesterday (Sunday Dec 9) to inquire if it were possible to get it before Christmas. The gal told me she would expedite my shipping. Wow! I didn’t get anything free, but I did get an email today saying that my iMac has shipped with a delivery date of Dec 13th! FedX confirms that it left Shanghai CN at 6:02 pm. Thanks Apple!! Can’t wait!! :)

I'm happy for everyone! Mine is coming, but I didn't call before it was shipped, wish I had thought to ask for expedited shipping, now I'm all jealous :)

When I called and asked for expedited shipping, I was upgraded, but she told me it would only be 1 day faster, because they were doing 3 day shipping for everyone because of the holidays.

I have the 3TB non-fusion, and it has not moved past processing. The fusion is a 3TB HDD (probably the same one I ordered) plus flash storage... so it's def possible.

I ordered the 3TB non-fusion too, and mine is still processing. I called them today, ostensibly to see if I could change my keyboard, but more because I wanted to see if I could get a hint. The guy was VERY VERY nice, but couldn't really tell me anything, other than reiterating the time frame currently listed on my order (Dec. 21-28, with 2-3 shipping). He did give me a free keyboard though. But honestly, I'd be really excited to just get my computer. He told me he bought a 2011 iMac in August, and although it is a great machine, he wished that he had waited. We had a lovely chat. :)

Anyone order through a reseller like I did? If so what status is your order showing? I ordered through B&H Photo for free delivery, no sales tax, and half off AppleCare. My status still shows backordered :( I'm hoping that will change soon.

I went back and checked... UPS says "UPS Worldwide Expedited" shipping - but still doesn't give a delivery date

the Apple shipping notice finally came in - icloud was down part of the day I think - it says delivery by the 18th

UPS doesn't do saturday delivery so I'm guessing either Friday or Monday for me

Thanks for responding to my initial inquiry as to whether any 27 inch I Macs had shipped with the 3TB fusion drive.

I ordered mine with all upgrades/ 3TB fusion( except ram) on the 30th at 5PM eastern time. Still says -"Processing Items- estimate Available to ship: 3 - 4 Weeks ,Delivers Dec 31 - Jan 7 via Standard Shipping" . ...BUT when I go to edit shipping i get a pop up window saying it cannot edit shipping when order is being prepared for shipping. ;-)

Just called and got mine upgraded to expedited shipping as well for free of charge. Thank you Apple!

I ordered mine at 5am on the 30th, and it still has a status of "Processing Items", although the delivery date did get upgraded from Dec 24-31 (old) to Dec 20-27 (new).

I hope it gets here by Christmas!

Lucky you, I tried the UK apple call centre and got told that she couldnt change the shipping for it, even though I said I was happy to pay extra for it.:(

I just spoke to Customer Services @ Apple Norway and got the same reply. The iMac was the problem, too high demand to give individuals special treatment in terms of expediting the order.

Still "Processing Items" for me. BTO maxed out, except for RAM. Ordered the first morning of availability. Ships: 2-3 Weeks. Delivers: Dec 21 - Dec 28 via Next Day Shipping. Will check periodically throughout the day.

Time lag due to Reseller?

I placed my order through a reseller, Expercom. On the Apple order site, the order shows it was placed on Nov. 28, two days before the iMac was available through Apple. Yet my order is still "Processing." I'm now wondering if resellers get their orders filled later than direct-from-Apple orders. Does anyone have experience with resellers and time lag?

Ordered mine with expedited shipping at 12:56 AM PST Nov 30 on the edu store and still processing order...

With the following configuration:
•3.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
•8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
•1TB Fusion Drive
•NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5
•Magic Trackpad
•Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
•Accessory Kit

I just received two pending charges on my card. One for the iMac and one for shipping. Let's see how long it takes to get shipped out.
